Page 5: Chapter 2: Introduction
Introduction The following RAID types are supported on Precision 7865 Tower workstations: ● RAID 0 ● RAID 1 ● RAID 5 ● RAID 10 ● Volume (Just a Bunch Of Disks - JBOD) ● RAIDABLE or RAID Ready RAID 0 RAID 0 splits or stripes data across two or more drives for faster read and write performance. -
Page 6: Raid 1
RAID 1 RAID 1, also known as the data mirroring, provides 100% redundancy for data protection. By balancing the load, read performance can be twice as that of a single drive; write performance is almost same as a single drive. RAID 1 volumes are suitable for operating system volumes. A disadvantage is cost, as twice as many drives are required for RAID 1. -
Page 7: Raid 5
RAID 5 RAID 5 provides better performance by using data striping and protection through parity. The disadvantage of RAID 5 is that rebuilding a large RAID 5 volume requires a longer period of time. The following are the key features of RAID 5: ●... -
Page 8: Raid 10
RAID 10 RAID 10 is a stripe of mirrors that combines the features of RAID 0 and RAID 1. As the blocks are striped and mirrored, the performance and redundancy are higher. The disadvantage of RAID 10 is that it is more expensive than other RAID levels, with a higher number of drives required. -
Page 9: Volume
Volume Volume, also named as JBOD, uses raw drives without any RAID configuration. AMD RAIDXpert2 treats one or more disks or the unused space on a disk as a single array. It supports one to eight disks. RAIDABLE RAIDABLE is also known as RAID Ready. RAIDABLE disk can be transformed to RAID 0 or RAID 1. It supports only one disk. Introduction... -
